Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Raze had stayed in the park for quite a while, listening to the conversation of the teenage mages until they had eventually left, and now the night sky was out.

No one had cto sit next to him, maybe because of the aura he was giving off. One could feel a disturbance in the air if they cclose.

As for what Raze had been doing the entire twhile he was there, he had his mind occupied in deep thought. He was thinking about what the teenagers had spoken about and was imagining himself going up against someone who knew Dark Magic.

'This is extremely difficult to imagine, I haven't met anyone that was able to use Dark Magic before, so whatever I am imagining isn't a realistic way forto counter. Because of the variables that are involved.'

His mind was occupied with the teenagers' arguments, who were questioning what would happen to Alterian if there was ever a high star Dark mage? If a lower star Dark Mage can defeat higher star tiers than them, then wouldn't a Dark Mage be the strongest mage there was in existence?

'If I really wanted to get to the bottom of this case then the best thing to do would be to do sresearch into Dark Magic… but how would I even do that, and is that even allowed?'

'It's a taboo to learn Dark Magic, but to study about it surely that's a different matter.'

Raze thought about it smore. If he wanted to find out about Dark Magic, there wouldn't be a lot he could do. There were the restricted books in the librarys held in the Central Mage academy, but that was somewhere he couldn't go.

The other option would be to talk to those that had learned Dark Magic as well. Figure out how they cacross it. However, those people were quite scary to Raze. They had gone off the deep end, desperate to learn it to cause damage to others.

Involving himself with them, he just imagined that there would be another article waiting to be written about him if he was found out.

"I guess I should just forget about it. It's a stupid thing to think about in the first place. There will never be an 8-star Dark Mage," Raze said as he stood up.

That was when he had truly noticed that the sky was now black. With what tit was, he thought he should hurry home.

'It will be a first that she is back before me,' Raze thought. 'I don't want to worry her.'

Making his way back, Raze had arrived at their apartment room and he noticed something. At the front door, there were a few painted words.

It was the sprofanity that was written, aimed at him since the incident in red paint. He had suspected that it was someone from the apartment since this continued, someone wanting them to leave.

However, Sabrina had stood her ground, shouting back at them. They were all friendly with them one day, and then turned on them the next. The reason why Raze noticed it, was because he hadn't seen it in a long time.

'Usually, every tSabrina comes back, she cleans it away with her magic. She thought I didn't notice, but I'm quite sensitive to mana,' Raze thought.

Opening the door he didn't think much of it. As he walked inside, that was until he could see that there were no shoes in the entrance. Taking his own off, he started to walk into the apartment.

"Sabrina!" Raze shouted. "Sabrina, are you here!"

Raze looked in the kitchen, the living room, he even gave a small knock on the toilet door, before opening it, yet there was no one.

"Well, she might be out with her friends after work, I'll just send her a message to see if everything is okay." Raze did that and continued on his day,

Usually, by this the would treat himself to a drink, but for once, with his mind full of thoughts of Dark Magic, and Sabrina not being hat the usual time, he had decided to leave it.

'She hasn't read my message.' Raze checked his phone and decided to give a call instead.

It was unusual, Sabrina would often reply back, or even let him know in advance if she had something. When calling, the phone didn't even ring out. This was almost an impossibility.

The phones in Alterian ran on mana, as long as it was on a person they could always have it working. Sure there was a chance that she might have lost it, but there were many other things that were strange.

The day she lost her phone she had chlater than usual? And not even informed him beforehand like she usually would do. It was already extremely late.

With this in mind, Raze had decided to write out a note. Just in case Sabrina cback while he was out so she wouldn't worry like him, and he headed out the door in search of her.

In his mind, Sabrina would be seen between their apartment and her work, it was a fifteen-minute walk. Going through the area, Raze went into every shop he could see on the way, he took a glance to see if there was anyone he could see.

"Is there something I could help you with, sir, a seat perhaps?"

"No, I'm just looking for someone," Raze answered. "You haven't seen a woman here have you, light brown hair, usually wearing a light-colored jacket thing, the one with the wrap that you can tighten the waist."

Raze was never good at fashion; he had no clue what the words were for the type of jackets, not like his wife.

"There are a lot of people that chere, but I can't remember anyone like that."

After getting his answer, he continued going into every shop, asking the squestion. At times there would be those that matched their description, but they weren't the person he was looking for.

Suddenly in the situation he was in, his anxiety wasn't hitting him. He was talking to others which he hadn't done in years, and it was because there was something more important at stake for him.

In one of the restaurants he had entered Raze was even sure someone had recognized him and was whispering but he didn't care as he continued forward, but he had failed.

It was from one of the local parks. A place where kids would ride magical devices.

Going over to the noise, Raze was ready to look anywhere right now, even the whole country.

He was considering even flying up in the air and searching even though there were rules about that. When he entered the park, he could see kids were gathered around one of the kids.

They had had an accident on one of the rails, and their leg was twisted. When Raze pushed through the crowd he heard a soft voice.

"Don't worry, this will heal up all good and well. There won't be any pain or scar."

When the woman was done, she stood up and turned around and now her face was directly looking back at Raze.

"Sabrina, here you are, you're here!" he said as he quickly hugged her tightly. He then pulled her away and was holding her,

"Is everything okay, are you alright?" Raze asked.

"I'm fine… but… I'm sorry." Sabrina said, touching her head. "Who are you?"
